-Note that your IRC chats will be going through the matrix.org server. For public, logged channels like #apertium, this isn't any concern, but for one-on-one conversations there will be one more server that technically could log things (although one-on-one conversations on IRC can potentially be logged by freenode too). Matrix is free and open source, so you can set up your own Matrix server, but that seems to take away the point of this being a low-maintenance way to get persistent IRC connections (and in that case, https://weechat.org/ is much simpler to set up).

 OTOH, if you're chatting with other Matrix users, it actually becomes more secure, since Matrix provides end-to-end encryption between Matrix users.
